In Plymouth on 16 Oct 1632 when "Mr. John Holmes" purchased a house and
six acres of land adjoining Reed Pond from William Palmer for 35 pounds
sterling to be paid within one year. Nat.Gen.Soc.Quar.Vol. 74 (1986), p.
83, and Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in New England, ed.
Nathaniel Shurtleff and Davlid Pulsifer, 12 Vols. (Boston, 1855-6,
reprinted NY 1968), Deeds, p. 12:18.] In [Shurtleff 12:19], the following
excerpt is recorded: "Wheras William Spooner of Colchester in the County
of Essex by his Indenture beareinge date the twenty seaventy day of March
Anno Dni 1637 in the thirteenth year of his Maties Raigne [] hat put
himself apprentice wth John Holmes of New Plymouth in America gent from
the first day of May next after the date of the said Indenture unto the
end [] terme of six yeares thence..." It is known that he was not in
Plymouth in 1627 [Genealogical Journal 13 (1984-5): 135-199], and also
from
the list of division of cattle on 22 May 1627 in [Shurtleff 12:9-13],
where his name does not appear. His precise immigration is not known. He
was probably not a separatist Pilgrim. His parentage is not proven.
MacKenzie identifies him as the son of Thomas Holmes of Colchester, co.
Essex, England who died in 1637, but without supporting documentation.
Stratton [NGSQ 74:83] says this would probably be Thomas
Holmes, maltster, of Colchester, who dated his will 7 Nov 1637 and named
his daughter Susan Morton; his grandson Thomas Holmes, the son of his son
John; and his daughter Frances. [Will recorded in the Archdeaconry of
Colchester, 225CW12, 1637]. On March 27, 1637, William Spooner of
Colchester, co. Essex, England indentured himself as an apprentice to
John Holmes, gentleman, of New Plymouth, for a term of six years.
[Plymouth Colony Records, Deeds, 1:19] Thus, he does appear to have
connections to Colchester, making this a highly likely but still
inadequately proven theory of his parentage. Various records indicate
that Mr. Holmes was considerably above average status in comparison to
the population of Plymouth. In the 25 March 1633 tax ratings, he ranked
23 out of 67 households [NGSQ 74:84, PCR 1:10]. But he does not carry a
title of high respect as others of the colony did, which could have been
due to his mis-behavior, since he appears before the court on various
charges, especially drunkenness [NGSQ 74:84]. On 4 Dec 1638, he was sworn
as Messenger for the whole Government, or Messenger of the Court, a
position he took over from Joshua Pratt [PCR 1:54, 105; NGSQ 74:83-110,
esp. 84]. William Bradford's memoirs describe how a young man, Thomas
Granger, a servant of Love Brewster in Duxbury with wife and children,
was executed for the crime of bestiality around 8 Sept 1641. John Holmes
as Messager served as his executioner. The last record that has been
proven to be in reference to him was on 7 Oct 1651. He did not appear on
the list of freemen believed to have been made circa 1658. There are some
appearances of John Holmes after that date, but these are probably
refering to his son. There is also a John Holmes of Duxbury which was a
different person altogether. There is a record of a Plymouth town meeting
of 15 March 1702/3, in which was stated: "The Reed Pond granted to John
Holmes of Plimouth deceased on the 13 of October 1667 was bounded," etc.
[Charles Henry Pope, "The Pioneers of Massachusetts", Boston 1900, p.
237; Plymouth Town Recs., 1:310]. [NGSQ 74:86] points out that this
quotation is ambiguous in that the date could be refering to the date of
decease, or to the date of the grant, and that based on the minutes of
another town meeting on 13 Oct 1667 we can learn that truth of fact, it
was indeed refering to the granting: "a privilidge of grasse or sedge is
graunted unto John Holmes at the Reed pond in case hee can make medow of
the whole
pond o
